scottukl Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I love the car - it's my first Scooby and I love everything about it. Can't believe the wet weather grip and I never get bored of the acceleration and sound. The interior is great too despite what the magazines say - quality is brilliant! Can't wait to do a few track days next year to properly test the car! Your car looks really nice - love them in white. My original order was white but I beat the long wait by taking a black one. White for the next one in a few years maybe :-) Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
salsa-king Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 cheers, some more pix of my car are here.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/neoquip/sets/72157632623986531/ Europa (Subaru Sheffield) had their white demo STi in the show room when I popped up the other week for my 6th year service. Looked good as they'd had a carbon roof wrap too. :) It's now sold . a track day!!! in a new car!!! lol
scottukl Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Nice pics - lovely car! I was planning to go for a carbon roof wrap on white so I bet that looked really good. I'll upload a few pics of my car tomorrow and send you a link [emoji2] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1

White for the next one in a few years maybe :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Just had a listen to your car on YouTube and I like. Wouldn't mind hearing one with just the upgraded back boxes as I'm thinking about them for mine. As for the reviews slagging off the interior, it just means more of the budget went into the important bits you can't see. I've had a trawl of the Internet for power upgrades etc. there seems to be a fair bit in the USA but not much this side of the pond. The sensible old git in me says you rarely use the standard power so why bother but then the serial tinkerer in me keeps thinking another 40-50bhp would be nice. 1
scottukl Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks, it took a while to develop the nice burble but now it's run in it does sound nice and turns heads as you cruise along! You're right about the power upgrades, they all seem to be in the US - amazing as the fuel they use is 87-93 octane! Hopefully more options will come up in the UK this year as the car becomes more popular. It's definitely not short of power but with 40 extra BHP it will be a real super car beater in the wet and on twisty roads. I followed a C63 AMG on a wet twisty A24 the other day and he couldn't pull away even on the straights despite an extra 180 BHP. :-) Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
Gambit Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I'm glad to hear that I had worried that Subaru had maybe not produced the car I was hoping it would be like it's previous older siblings :D 1

finn-STI Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Green engine bay grease!!!!!! The worst stuff ever :@ Just spent hours removing it from the engine bay!!!!!! Everything just sticks to it. Shiny bay now, and it looks ten times better for it!!!!! Happy days!! :-D 1
finn-STI Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Keeping up with a C63, quality!!!! Still just as much fun for 30K+ less 1
confusedbrog Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Hi find did you get round to getting a remap on your car yet? I've just put a deposit down on a new sti and would be interested to know if anyone in the on here has already had an exhaust and remap.
finn-STI Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 No mate, I'm afraid not I'm actually thinking of getting shot of it. Have bought an SQ5 so can't really justify having both of them. Don't know if anyone is looking for one do you haha
thehulkster699 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Keeping up with a C63, quality!!!! Still just as much fun for 30K+ less And after saying this under two weeks ago you now want to sell it? 1
finn-STI Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 I know,to justify having both is a problem!!! Looks like I'll be having both cars for a while 1
Gambit Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 No harm in that mate :) Well if money allows it it anyway. I still wouldn't have had an Audi though
finn-STI Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Low blow!!! Hahaha. The Audi the wife's car. You know they always get what they want!!!!!!!!! 1
Gambit Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Under the thumb ;) (looks over shoulder before posting) I'll let you off on the poor choice then
finn-STI Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Haha I ain't even got a comeback to that 1
confusedbrog Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Are you still getting rid of the car finn? I was wondering if you were gonna be selling the milltek seperate
finn-STI Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I'll keep you in mind mate, as there's a few people after it and the wheels
